I personally found this achievement fairly challenging (I required 3 attempts after I was too optimistic the first time and too pessimistic the second!) so here's how I did it in case anybody else is struggling:

From the main menu, choose career, season challenge, hard.Pick Marussia as your teamSelect Jenson Button (McLaren Mercedes) as your first rivalDon't worry too much about qualifying but do try to earn P18 or better, this way you should be able to overtake Button in the first 2 corners once the race starts. You'll need to be aggressive in these corners, don't be afraid to give someone a friendly tap if they're hogging the racing line :)Don't forget to use flashbacks (back button) when necessaryIf you don't overtake Button before he gets clear air in front of him then restart the session from the start menu, you won't be able to catch him in your Marussia. I couldn't anyway.Once you're in front of him be prepared to drive very defensively, he'll be pushing you all the way, especially where DRS is available. Again, don't forget to use flashbacks where necessary.It's essential that you finish ahead of Button in the first two races, taking 3 races to earn his contract will likely leave you too far behind in the championship. Try to finish in the top 7 in both of the first 2 races to earn yourself some much needed championship points.After the second race accept your contract at McLaren Mercedes and select Lewis Hamilton as your next rival.The McLaren Mercedes seems to be great in the dry but hopeless in the wet so pray that 2 of your next 3 races are dry and you should be able to beat Hamilton fairly easily. As above, don't forget to use flashbacks or restart session when required.Once you've beaten Hamilton, accept the contract from Mercedes AMG and it should be plain sailing from there on in. Especially now that you've stolen Hamilton's ride!

Good luck!
